Where the Fuck is Mayotte?

Holy shit, we have yet another country!!! WTF!?!?! Now there are 202! Well fuck me! You'll never guess this one; it is certainly a new one on me. It's formal appellation is the the Territorial Collectivity of Mayotte. Here is a map to show where it is in the Mozambique Channel between that island and the continent of Africa:

And here to welcome them in our own formal Fair View way is their flag:

MAYOTTEWelcome to all Mayottes. We have all learned something new from you today! Enjoy your visit and stay a while. Come back soon now, Ya hear?

You are Strength

Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.

This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
